  2. Contents • Introduction • CyberCars User Needs Analysis • Objectives • Methodology • Analysis Framework • Activities • Results • Summary and Conclusion • CyberMove User Needs Analysis …

  3. Introduction [1/2] • User needs analysis carried out in both projects • Both projects examine CTS, but different focus • Different objectives, methodologies and results • Results complement each other and also relate to other project activities (e.g. evaluation) • Ongoing survey on user perception for Antibes application (questionnaires, technology-related)

  4. Introduction [2/2] • Overview:

  6. Objectives • Examine CTS User Perceptions • Analyse CTS User Requirements • Focus on General System Level • Use of Market Research Techniques to involve Users in the Analysis • Qualitative Approach/ Analysis chosen due to the Innovative Characteristics

  7. Methodology • Literature Review on Related System  DRTS, AHS, PRT, APM, ADAS, Carsharing • Develop Framework of Potential User Groups and Application Areas • Choose Market Research Techniques (Focus Groups, Interviews) for different User Groups according to their respective Characteristics

  8. Analysis Framework [1/2] • CTS User Groups • System End-User - Potential User - Non-User • Decision-Maker - Elected - Non-Elected • System Operator - PT Operator - Service Provider • Decision-Maker/ Operator combined  Relates to various Private Sites

  9. Analysis Framework [2/2] • CTS Application Areas • Public Application - City-wide for general - City Centre or special - Periphery user group • Private Application e.g. Airport, Theme Park, Large Business, University Campus, Exhibition Centre, etc.

  10. Activities

  11. Results [1/4] • Group ‘End-User’ • Speed perceived as Positive/Negative • Technology safer than Manual Operation • Personal Safety Concern without Driver • Concern over CTS in Mixed Traffic • Short Distance/ Targeted Application • Dedicated Lanes/ Elevated Structures • Careful Network Design/ Operation

  12. Results [2/4] • Group ‘Decision-Maker’ • Low Image of PT  Private Car Society • CTS as Feeder System/ P&R Application • Favouring Application in Contained Areas (e.g. Car Park, Airport, Exhibition Centre) • Certification of System Safety/ Reliability • Funding for Initial System Implementation • Specify Role in Planning/ Policy

  13. Results [3/4] • Group ‘System Operator’ • Potential to solve various present Transport- related Problems (e.g. System Flexibility) • Personnel Costs Savings through CTS • High Risk for Initial System Implementation • Prove of Reliability and Economic Efficiency required (Experience/ Certification/ Study) • Use of CTS to cover ‘Last Mile’

  14. Results [4/4] • Group ‘Decision-Maker/ Operator combined’ • Walking Distances between Facilities • Potential to solve site-specific Problems • Advantage of lower Operating Costs • CTS is more useful for Peak-Demand Application than manually operated System • Concern over very high Demand (Airport) • Experience with Automated Systems (e.g. APM in Airports)

  15. Summary and Conclusion • Analysis of User Needs for CTS • Use of Qualitative Market Research • Development of Analysis Framework • Various Potential Niche Applications • Technology Experience/ Certification • Education of the Market • Raise End-User Familiarity
